Bloomberg reports that strong Chinese demand has pushed Brazilian soybean premiums up sharply, leaving domestic crushers facing negative margins and expecting to hold off until the 2019 harvest. Brazil's soybean exports were up 13% through September, with 91% of September shipments going to China, and China has begun importing soyoil for biodiesel.
Reduced Brazilian crushing tightens soybean meal and oil supplies, which supports soybean and soyoil prices while China's soyoil imports add demand.
